Supposed that miner violation behavior is the key predisposing factor of major accidents in Chinese mines, with the theory of planned behavior in social psychology, the manager safety attitude is introduced to establish miner violation behavior model, then factors and the mechanism of violation behavior is discussed, so as to provide theoretical reference for miner violation behavior management. Structural Equation Model is applied for the empirical analysis on the 203 effective surveys from miners, which shows that manager safety attitude, behavior attitude, group norms, cognitive behavioral control and behavioral intention are well fit in with miner violation behavior, furthermore, manager safety attitude and group norms play very important role in both direct and indirect prediction of miner violation behavior. Besides, the study also shows that it’s necessary to introduce manager safety attitude into violation behavior analysis with the theory of planned behavior.
